Dedicated to my son, who would vehemently disagree with the sentiment expressed above. Man? Not at the time (with which he would agree), but most certainly a man now.

I love you, Brandon. I love that your laughter fills the room (the city?). I love that you encourage loved ones. I love that you fiercely love family, regardless of shortcomings (and sometimes outright stupidity) on all our parts. I’m thankful for the man you have become, and are fighting for.
